Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, June Mrs. Wylie, the
woman who made her escape from the
jail LAST night in the presence of state and
United States officers, has not yet been
found, This morning an officer took her
trail at the door from which she made
her escape and followed it in the dlrec-
ton of the Trinity river to branch some
distance from the river. This she sppa-
rently crossed, but the trail was lost
Immediately on the opposite side
Two boys reported to the Sheriff that
they saw woman answering to the de
scription of Mrs. Wylie in the bottom,
and walking fast and appearing to be
frightened. Some think that she threw
herself into the Trinity river and was
drowned, but those who know the woman
better say they cannot believe it. Mrs.
Wylie is about forty-fve years of age,
vers slight form, small, wrinkled face,
with small. piercing eyes. She is the
reverse of handsome. She is the woman
who was convicted of counterfeiting at
the late term of the United States court
and sentenced to three years in the peni-
Tertiary, and the deputy United States
marshals were at the jail making prepsr-
atoms to call the prisoners who were to
be taken to Chester penitentiary from
their cells, arranging handouts, etc, when
Mrs. Wylie, who, it seems, was in the
vestibule, somewhat at liberty to go and
come in the Jail, deliberately
walked to the kitchen and
with q key, somehow procured opened
door, o. as others think, some one on the
outside did the opening and the woman
passed out. Just where the responsibility
rests is mixed; both the state and United
States officers were present and while
they did not have them actually in their
possession, they had been informally |
turned over to them. It was the slickest |
piece of cunning work woman, or as
far a6 that goes, man, ever perpetrated |
on q single or double set of officers.
The Turner's, whose new hall is about |
and which will be occupied in |
about four weeks by the society, hoisted |
this morning the American flag to q staff
on the building as proof of their loyalty
to the stars and stripes.

THE UNION PACIFIC GOING AFTER THE
CATTLE TRADE.
The Topeka dispatches announce that
Mr.. A. L. Williams, Mr.. H. P. Dillon and
others have filed charters with the Secre.
tary of State for lines aggregsting 1000
miles of railroad in the state of Kansas.
As these lines all have direct connection
with the Union Pacific road and Judge
Williams is an attorney for that system,
it leaves no doubt in the minds Of railroad
men out the Union Pacific means business,
and if the plans ere carried out will make
it quite lively for several other ompanies.
The charters flied to date show that the
new lines are either in 8 southerly or
southwesterly dire cotton and that they
enter the territory of the Santa
Fe, Missouri Pacific, Rock Island
and St. Louis and San Francisco.
This will no doubt be very much of a
surprise to these lines, as they have all
along considered the Union Pacific prac-
tically dead letter as far as extensions
to the south were concerned. Just where
the Union Pacific is to get the necessary
capital in the face Of the drawback which

Underground ROADS in London.

Rapid progress is being made in the
new underground railway from the Mon
ument to the Elephant and Castle, con.
Meeting the city with the south of London
Two Independent tunnels. it should be
explained, are being constructed for the
new cable subway. The first passes right
under the river and, alTeGdy extends
about 200 feet under the Borough road,
while the construction of the second has
progressed considerably beyond the
middle of the river. The work thus far
accomplished has been done since Octo-
Der last. 1t will be remembered that the
Thames tunnel took about eighteen years
to complete it; much the same work
has now been accomplished In little
more than eighteen weeks. The COM
pany have recently obtained from a select
committee powers for an extension of the
line, as originally contemplated, from the
Elephant and Castle to the Swan at
StOCkwell; thus providing through tran
sit from the heart of the city to close to
Claphem Common. Doubtless when the
line is completed, which, it is understood,
will be toward the end of the year, there
will be a great relief of the traffic over
London bridge and along the busy streets
beneath which the subway runs. Official
returns of the traffic over London bridge
show that 100000 foot passengers and
100000 cabs and other vehicles annually
pass over it, while the tramways cOnyerg-
ing at st. Georges church, Borough, con-
vey about 100000 passengers year.
The three miles of this new line are being
made for about 100000, which Is about
one-ffth of the cost of the Underground
Railway. At each end of the line, it should
be added, there will be hydraulic lifts, so
that passengers may ascend and descend
without trouble London Telegraph.
